Canopy situation is even worse, addressed the fit problem but got some fogging that he usual methods of dealing with it have proven unsuccessful, so this will have to swap to something else got a kinetic f-16 in the stash and an airfix shooting star on its way....

Just needs bits added

Didn't think I had anything in the stash eligible aside from the airfix F-51D which I've done twice already but remember this one, fudged the first attempt of the kit due to paint issues a couple of years back, so whilst I don't have this boxing (instead the revell reissue) I can do the sharkmouth one with the spare decals

A few pots of xtracrylix raf camo grey given a single pot has a proven way to little for a nimrod R1, which I should have foreseen and an airfix shooting star, which I hope is complete

Boring MSG....

Watching along, just made a mess of the revell kit myself so at least Ill get to see a gr4 done....

Joy of supporting a local shop.....still I am cracking on, underside sanded and painted a very boring camouflage grey, now for the upper in medium sea grey before the more interesting yellow bits can be added

Still a fair bit of sanding on the miliputed windows but getting there’s

Decals all on including the walkway lines which had to be individually cut from generic long decals, took ages. Also did some sanding on the nimrod

A B2 sadly

Made a rapid start, decided to risk it and go with the grey reissue and hope I get the decals in time

Made a start

To be fair I don’t help myself at times kits like the Tornado are best having canopy one before paint and being careful, but yep definitely have the cursed touch, anyway all the port and starboard decals are on now

Even though I’m avoiding splashing out for it spotted a nice set of frog Mitchell decals for my airfix b25 rebuild on eBay

Add to that the italeri kfir, to be able to walk into a shop with a tenner and leave with the Revell boxing compared to the italeri where a 20 pound note is required....
